Croutons
- 2 slices Sourdough bread cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
- For the croutons: Preheat the oven broiler on low. Toss the bread with oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Toast under the broiler until crunchy and golden brown on all sides. Then remove and set aside.
- Melt the butter with the oil in a pot on medium heat. Once hot, sauté the celery, garlic, and onion until soft.
